This is the finest that represents Airbnb. The place felt like community embodied and we feel so lucky to have stayed. Beautiful hosts and a really special little town. Such a great home too! We feel fortunate to have found this place.

Misaki was incredibly helpful in communicating with us prior to arrival. She could not have been more welcoming when we got there and her family made us feel at home. A very gracious host, a beautiful historic house and an enchanting hillside town.

Misaki's place is a nice authentic place with an old look but with modern facilities. Misaki was very friendly and helpfull. We shared kitchen and bathroom which was convenient.

We had a great stay at Misaki's place. Not only could we stay in a wonderful old Japanese house, Misaki also introduced us to many aspects of Japanese culture. It is great to talk to her, and we had a really wonderful time with her and her family during the stay. Our children also loved the stay. They even made friends with the neighbor's children. The house is clean, very big, and very quiet. Everything you need is there. The house is in a quite rural village. We were the only foreigners there, but everyone was very friendly, helpful and interested. This really is a very special Airbnb stay. Extremely recommendable.

古民家で日本の建築の良さの再発見が出来ました。地域の人が集う場所だったから、住み心地の良い環境をつくってもらえました。ありがとう! Hello! Overall I think that the best thing of staying with you two for a foreigner is leaving in a real japanese environment. That is invaluable. Your welcoming was great and the house is confortable enough to really enjoy the stay

We had a wonderful stay at Koda and Kero's beautiful temple. Koda picked us up at Ena station and gave us a tour of Ena city. When we arrived at the temple he helped us plan our walk from tsumago to magome and later in the evening we had Keros wonderful dinner. The following day Koda drove us to tsumago and provided us with snacks and drinks for the hike. They are the perfect hosts - I would recommend this place to everyone!

Mads2017-07-12T00:00:00Z

We really enjoyed our stay with Koda and Kero! Their place is very unique and beautiful. What made our trip the best though was Koda's hospitality and offer to drive us everywhere we needed to go. Our train was initially cancelled and he was very communicative and suggested another train. He picked us up at the station, brought us to an onsen, drove us to dinner, and then brought us back home. In the morning a very light breakfast was provided (toast and yogurt) and then a bunch of snacks for us to take with us on our hike from Tsumago to Magome. He had helpful brochures and maps and brought us to the train station first in the morning to drop our bags and helped us get our tickets to our next location. He then drove us a half hour to the start of our hike! We would definitely recommend this!

Staying at Koda and Kero's home was an amazing end to our trip. It was always a dream of me and my mother to walk the Nakasendo road, but walking it with the knowledge en hospitality provided by Koda and Kero made it so much more special. What an amazing home they have (everything you can think of or need is there) and having Koda as a local guide made this our favorite stay in Japan. Thank you so much for having us and we hope to return some day!

Keiko-san and her family were very welcoming and helpful. The guesthouse is really nice, everything's new. The surrounding place is wonderful, we should have stay here for a week instead of 1 night, but had to go according to our reservations. Thank you for everything.

Really good place, the view is amazing, the family so cool and the house is really clean, a all new house, with all that you need !! We had share so funny moments thank you for everything !! Hope to see you soon

Keikos place is great. She is a lovely person and a perfect host. She picked us up from Iibama station and also back. We stayed for three nights and enjoyed the apartment very much. It has all amenities and we felt very welcomed. Most of all we loved the surroundings, the landscape and the small japanese houses all around are beautiful! If you're looking for something off the crowds, this is the place. Thanks again dear Keiko!

Vanessa2017-03-31T00:00:00Z

Nice apartment in the Japanese countryside. Clean, spacious and comfortable. Keiko's English is limited, but with the help of a little sign language and a translation app we were able to communicate. She picked us up and brought us back to the train station a couple times and arranged take-away dinner for us after a long day hiking the Nakasendo trail from Magome to Tsumago. It does take some time to get to the trail and back from the apartment, but it's definitely doable. Would stay here again!

Hiromotsu was a very nice and helpful host. We even met his daughter and some friends from the town. We chose this place as it was the closest one available to the Magome and Tsumago hike. However it still meant that it took us 2 trains and a bus to get to Magome in the morning and 1 bus and 3 trains to come back from Tsumago...The guesthouse itself is recently renovated and very nice and clean. However, the walls of the rooms are literally made from paper, so you can hear everything that is going on in the guest house. Do not expect to be able to sleep before 23:00 or after 7:00. Toilets are separate and you have to cross a little courtyard to get to the showers. There is free tea and coffee and kitchen available to guests. I recommend that you bring your own food for breakfast as we did not find any grocery shops near the guesthouse. Otherwise, most of the cafes open at 9. All of this said we had a great time in this village. It is like a less touristy, sleepy version of Magome or Tsumago, with nice cafes and a bit "dusty" souvenir shops. There is a ruin of castle on the top of the hill with a beautiful view.

This review was written in four of his wife and children and his mother. This time I was able to spend slowly in a comfortable space to more than imagine from the appearance, but was the use of Yonezo. Children seems is a 3-year-old was enjoy the nature and chasing tadpoles and frogs in the rice fields before building or running the garden. Dinner but went to "Kawaji kitchen" of the neighborhood, which had you introduce to Mr. Tae, it was also a high degree of satisfaction shop here. This time, it did not use, it can be also used a bit of shopping nearby and also Circle K. Experience of staying in elephants can recommend pretty fresh in a variety of age groups.

Very Pleasant stay by Toshi and Map. The house is situated in a beautiful environment and the room is very well décorated and comfortable. Toshi and Map are really Nice persons and welcomed us very well. A good breakfast Every morning !

I absolutely loved Toshi and Map's home! The scenery from our room and our living room on the 2nd floor was beautiful. The scenery of the town itself was beautiful. Toshi and Map were very nice and welcoming. Their home is a bit of an uphill walk from the station so heavy luggage is not recommended. However, Toshi was kind enough to take us by car to his home. The fruits and drinks they offered for us were all delicious. Breakfast was also wonderful. I will definitely stay again and recommend this place to others.

Very good moment with Hiroaki. The house, the ambiance, the food, the welcome was perfect. thank you again

Hadjimanolis2016-04-09T00:00:00Z

Mr. Hiroaki is a kind person with passion, he drove meto a village about 1 hour away from his place. Furthermore, he cooked some special foods, it's tasty, especially the rice he plant it by himself. I recommend you to visit his place.

Hugo2016-04-23T00:00:00Z

Hiroaki-san was a great host, and his place was a wonderful way to experience rural Japan in a historic house. He began by being very helpful in securing a microbus taxi for our large group to get us from the train station. That night, he went all-out on a magnificent dinner whuch included a more-than-generous spread of Yakiniku (grilled pork, chicken, beef, and deer), as well as amazing stews of wild boar and deer (he had hunted and butchered these himself). Accommodations were comfortable Japanese style, with futons and tatami, and plenty of room for all 13 of us. The morning had an onigiri-making experience, and a nice guided walk up to a beatiful panoramic view of the mountains across the valley, during which Hiroaki shared a bit about himself and his family history, and we shared about ourselves. A great experience, a great host. Highly recommended!

Greg2017-02-23T00:00:00Z

It's very traditional Japanese house, so it was very great experience. The hous is located in the mountain, a bit deeply. So it's almost impossible to visit there on foot or bus. In my case, I drove to there. The owner said he would pick-up nearst station or bus stop. As the owner said on his page, there's no place to buy anything. So it's better to prepare and buy before you go up. The place is very unique. Mr.Hiroaki cooked dinner in traditional Japanese way and it was very delicious. And kindly, he filled the bath with warm water. In winter, that region is very cold so you'd better prepare warm clothes if you visit there in winter season. It's in the mountain places, so the scenery in the night is very nice to watch stars. And Mr.Hiroaki took me to the observatory, which is 5 min away by car. You can see the Japan-Alps(Central) in nice weather. I'd like to recommand, highly, this place someone who needs to be calm, wants to experience something new and special.
